Read event log in C#

Question

I'm trying to read event logs for my application EventLoggingApp. The problem is reading logs for my single source (EventLoggingApp).

This code read logs for every source. What is the problem? Any advice?

static void ReadEvenLog() {     string eventLogName = "Application";     string sourceName = "EventLoggingApp";     string machineName = "Tom";      EventLog eventLog = new EventLog();     eventLog.Log = eventLogName;     eventLog.Source = sourceName;     eventLog.MachineName = machineName;      foreach (EventLogEntry log in eventLog.Entries)     {         Console.WriteLine("{0}\n",log.Source);     } }

Try this:

EventLog log = new EventLog("Security"); var entries = log.Entries.Cast<EventLogEntry>()                          .Where(x => x.InstanceId == 4624)                          .Select(x => new                          {                              x.MachineName,                              x.Site,                              x.Source,                              x.Message                          }).ToList();
